C,h7P tfh? r "wet#" git# wusser and wusser. ' V* - One of their witnesses in Washiosr ton complained about the awful death rate among rum -runners since the 18th Amendment was ratified. He suggested repealing the amend ment; thereby turning the liquor kil lings over to the saloon keepers where, he thinks, it rightfully be longs.; t The "wets" do not approve of sud den death. It's bad for business. Their system is to kill gradually? in cidentally, they are making good pro fits while the killing .is going on. Dead men do not buy liquor. ? If you want td kill the chain storeg repeal the 18th Amendment. The sa loons would get the cash before it reached the chain stores, or-any-nth* er stores. %. The <4wete" admit that they aro ?responsible for the 18th Amendment, but blame it on the "drys". This year will provide the usual crop otf candidates for the political office. All of them are anxious to serve the state or county. For a con I side-ration. Examine them carefully for "spavin", "sbrinpvhalt", lameness, etc. Don't forget their Eyes. Blindness t is the pre-requisite of a gWod politic- | ian. { No use to examine their lungs. No one ever heard of a "wind-broken" i politician. If none of the herd are , satisfactory, go out in the "Wilds" of , business, and rc?pe the ones you want. The average political office holder has as many strings tied to him, as there are ropes around a circus tent. There is a vast difference between . Principle and Politics. The inhabitants of certain Asiatic countries regard the cow as a sacred animal. | In some sections of our c?wn land, politicians are regarded in the same light. Except, of course, those of the opposite party. Which state of affairs is very pleasing to the politicians. V-otters of today are held account able to the politicians. The politi cians hold themselves accountable to no one. If you don't believe it, buck 'em once, and you'll learn just what kind' of a worm you are. The older folk are passing rapidly away. We miss those who have ppne. They were good men^ good women, and good citizens. May the bless ings of God rest upon their bereaved one.

A gentleman wa8 jn our office a few days ago and remarked to us that he noticed from reading The Messen ger that we were advocating a flock of hens on every farm, and he said he wanted to tell us what his flock did for him. He had between forty and fifty hens, and for four weeks he had been sick and unable to do any work; and these hens produced a sufficient quantity of eptgs to support his family of seven and to pay for their feed. That was a fine record1 and What this industrious friemi did others can U6 just a* well. The hen, hog and ctiwj will make the farmer independent if he will look after them. This particu lar man told us that he was going to plant an acre in tomatoed and an acre in bean's for his cannery1. cessary, for criminal work done out side of the County, payable upon his order.

Mussolini, The Uncrowned Kiti* of I;' If I should write the above title to J 'a newspaper in Italy, as an Italian ' citizen, I would fterhapb be arrested las a Red or an enemy of the govern ment Yet in reality, Mussolini is the 1 uncrowned king of Italy for his word Is law. Dictator, premier, leader, ' statesman, are all titles that belong to him. He has more power in Italy than any other man, even the King, himself. The King is only a figurehead , is far as the policies of the country ( Is concerned. The tourist in Italy hears the name of Mussolini men tioned a dozen times to that of Kins 1 Emanuel. I had been in Italy a week before I heard his name called. To show , the power Mussolini has with the National Assembly he had an act put through hich declared that if any . person made an attempt to assinate the premier he was to be put to death. So every anarchist knows what will be hin fate if- he attempts to lift his hand and try to take the. life of the human dynamo of Italy? it will be the firing squad. Italy, under Mussolini, is strength ening her army and navy each year. In Italy every man between 18 and 21 has to serve a year and a half in the Italian army. There are more soldiers to be Been in Italy than any other nation in Europe save England. Mussolini says there will be a World war in 1938 <and Italy will be ready , with 6,000,000 trained soldiers ? and i she will be, too. Perhaps if Italy goes j into war it will be for the purpose of gaining more territory for her in- 1 creasing population, for like Japan, it is increasing rapidly every year. Mussolini realized that ? -wealth would come to Italy through the thousands of Tourists who come into her borders each year. Hence, he im proved the railway service, and pro tected their bagpage. His next move was to abolish the fees to museums and art galleries. These fees amount ed to thousands of dollars eaqh year. ( Italy has much to offer the tourist, and the abolition of fees to museums and art galleries helped to attract tourists to the land of sunshine, blue waters and still bluer skies. Without a doubt one of the most drastic reforms of Mussolini was that in regard to newspapers. He sensed the widespread influence of newspa pers. Let it be understood that in all his reforms he stressed the.. matter of economy, anfl improvement of condi tions and service. Naturally to the people who were having a battle to keep soul and body together, all his policies appealed to them, for they were beng benefited by all his meas ures. So he gave order that all news papers must reduce to a dozen pages, and under, according to their circula tion. Naturally this cut short a great deal of unnecessary items that oould be dispensed with without loss to any one. While it did this, -on th?> other hand It did something else on the other. Perhaps Mussolini had this in mind when he gave the order for re duction of the number of pages: It gave a certan amount of space to his ? party, and cut out the news of the 'opposition party. Hence, the reaaon jwe always get favorable news of Mu I solini and his work. Sometime ago an army officer had an argument with j Mussolini and they almost came to i blows. At the time it occurred, no ,news was given of the affair, but later it leaked out through other sources, and then we read about it. Let it not be thought that Mussolini is a coward, for he is far from it. However, on the other hand, he is not a bully, for he has not traits of ,that kind. I - I would like to tell this incident to show the influence of Mussolini. Hiroughout Italy, Mussolini organ ized the Fascist party. Not only is theparty in operation in Italy, but in other countries as well. The Fascisti Leartue had 12,000 members in the United States and has just been re cently voted out of existence. The league was disbanded not because of attacks made on the league but be cause it accomplished its aim. It was denied that Mussolini had anything to do with dissolving the league in this country. The president of the league In his closing address saki* "Long live Italy, long live Fascistism, long live Mussolini, and long live Amc rtea." Not only did Mussolini orryvnize the men, but he likewise organized the boys. The ages And sise correspond to the Boy Scouts of <tar coun try were taken into the Fascist! League throughout Italy. These boyn weUr a little ca<p which l? known m th? Fascist! cap. The boy with me on the tour of Europe bought two of those caps In Florence, Itaty. After fie can^e home he give one id a boy chum and they Wore them occasio nally. One day as they were walking down the street In Bluefield,W. Va? a man (fen Italian) came up to ?them ana grabbed them roughly by the arm And shook them and most scared thorn cat of their senses and said with stern tones: "Where did you boys get these caps?" When the boy oould iiet his breath he said: MI bought them in Florence, Italy?'- Then the man said, "Oh, you have been to Italy. You are Americans first and Italians second. ] Here is a dime. Get you an ice cream ; cone." This man was a member of the Fasoisti party even if he was living in America, and when he saw the Fas cist i carps he recognised them even thousands of miles from Italy/ In my next article I will tell of Mussolini's further reforms and of the treaty with the Roman Cathoic church. v. , / (Continued next week) . !
